An employer views health decisions in terms of global costs, whereas an HMO is more likely just to look at medical costs.

We're calling on the Legislature to quickly pass the health care reform proposal now pending at the State House, with an employer responsibility provision. By putting a floor under employer health expenditures, the employer responsibility provisions halt the race to the bottom that leaves workers with no coverage and raises health care costs for everyone.

This is a difficult but necessary decision, and it was made only after the greatest deliberation. A number of other U.S. companies have already taken similar action in the face of these rising costs and increasing global competition. In particular, U.S. health-care costs continue to rise at high rates. When these benefits were conceived decades ago, no one could have foreseen the explosive cost inflation that we have been experiencing in recent years. These costs are simply not sustainable.

The results of our 2004 program were so successful that we are extending it to a six-month period this year. Using generics when appropriate cuts members' out-of-pocket expenses, but it also helps hold down overall medical costs. Since prescription-drug costs are a key driver of rising medical costs, the long-term increased use of generics impacts future premiums to the benefit of our customers.

From the beginning, our focus has been on providing clients with innovative ways to reduce the costs associated with catastrophic medical care. Today, almost 1 million people are covered by our programs. We are proud that we have been able to really help companies achieve greater stability in their health care costs.

It's hard to blame an employer for not wanting to absorb higher medical insurance costs. Why should I pay for your bad habit?

This obesity epidemic is not an individual problem, it's not a family problem, it's not a medical problem. It's a societal problem with grave implications for us in terms of health care and health care costs,

(Hatch) really views health plans as playing a very narrow role. We have an eye towards the long-term determinants of health care costs. We think it is central to the mission of the organization.

Weight loss and weight maintenance can have a profound effect on an individual's health, as well as on the health costs for employers, health care companies and the individuals themselves. Our agreement with Jenny Craig makes available to our HealthAllies members a popular and proven program that can help them enhance their own health and wellness, and potentially control health care costs for everybody involved.

Human capital analysis starts with the assumption that individuals decide on their education, training, medical care, and other additions to knowledge and health by weighing the benefits and costs. Benefits include cultural and other non-monetary gains along with improvement in earnings and occupations, while costs usually depend mainly on the foregone value of the time spent on these investments.

Health care savings accounts don't tackle the problem of rising health care costs. This is not an attempt to rein in the cost of health care. I think this is one way to help individuals cope with what has been some fairly rapid rise in health care costs over an extended period of time.

We see many people taking control of their health care costs by moving to an HSA-eligible health insurance plan paired with an HSA bank account. Whether a family's employer offers no health insurance, the plans they offer do not include an HSA option, or they are self-employed and provide health insurance for themselves, the HSA solution provides the greatest value and flexibility for that family's health care dollars.

In the rush to contain health-care costs, the response of health plans has been to raise costs for pharmaceuticals.

The major components of inflation for us are energy costs and housing costs and medical costs, and I don't see any major break in any of these. I wouldn't be surprised to see still 3.5 percent to 4 percent CPI for us for this year.
